FC27 Sweater & Hat (ages 2 - 10)WEB EXCLUSIVE

Young folk are often picky about what they wear, and sometimes you only find out after you spend 112 hours slaving at a complicated Aran design in 4 ply yarn for them. "Eeeew," they say, preferring some foul old rag of their own, and then you're forced to think of some appropriate way of punishing them or yourself. Make this instead. It's quick and soft and unfussy. The shoulders are a pure drop, though the sleeve caps are shaped for a smarter fit. The yoke is ribbed for a bit more interest, but otherwise, it's dead simple. Hat is knit flat in a rib, then seamed.
